Ritual Atmospherics is a "self-designer" ritual which suggests using the natural elements of water, wind and ice, to replicate and launch sigils (both digital and analogue). This ritual involves using self induced "atmospheric pressure" as a metaphor for drawing off the infinite reserve of KIA in the form of mentally generated snow storms. The thought seeds representing the sigil formation may be visualized as translating into the minute nuclei of each snow flake, as it conforms to the fractal equation of the sigil and Statement of Intent. Atmospheric low pressure zones could be astrally created and funnelled to specific locations.
The grandeur of huge blizzard-type snow storms invokes many powerful emotions which may resonate with neural and genetic memory alike. Just as a low pressure system will draw moisture off of a water surface and suck it up into the swirling cloud mass, "astrally" constructed snowflakes, in properly defined atmospheric parameters, created in the vacum of "no mind" or "neither-neither" consciousness, will accomplish an analgous effect. This mental vacuity could be seen as a metaphor for a "low pressure system", allowing the natural uptake from the infinite "ocean" of KIA.
The sigilized desire, having been converted to a numerical/geometrical anilinear equation is thereby embedded within each snowflake as they swirl forth from the visualized matrix. As huge snowstorms dramatically transform the physical world, swirling mentally visualized Blizzards could be used to blanket "target" landscapes, transforming them to meet specific requirements.
Example:
Snowflakes could represent sigilized "macrophage" cells,
funneled through "astral conduits" to aid in healing
rituals, or to cause havoc on intended targets, mold virtual landscapes
to specific requirements etc.
Ritual Specifics:
Statement of Intent:
It is my/our will to conjure a mental blizzard for the purpose
of extending my/our will over the Earth.
Sigilize desire.
Visualize the sigil glowing within a black Chaosphere.
Internalize Chaosphere and shrink it down to the size of a speck
of dust.
Allow the dust particle to explode... sending out exact digital
replicas of itself omnidirectionally.
Gradually these particles begin to absorb minute quatities of
atmospheric KIA .
ATTAIN GNOSIS ! (Daath Posture proves to be particularly effective
for simulating astral "low-pressure zones").
(At peak of Gnosis operator/s may INVOKE weather deity of choice).
Atmospheric vacuity increases uptake of KIA, creating a visulization
of a swirling blizzard. Howling winds created by WILL direct the
"sigil storm" to it's destination. In tropical climates
the same technique may be applied using Tropical Rain Storms.
Dust storms, Hurricanes and Tornadoes. Floods could also be useful
tools for specialized applications.
I found the symbolism of "Mother Hulda" to be particularly
intriguing, both due to simplicity and ease of visualization.
Mother Hulda represents the Teutonic Lunar Goddess, "Holda",
known for causing snow and rain storms by shaking out her bedclothes.
An old feather pillow and a vacumn cleaner is all the supplies
neccessary for this invocation. If it doesn't seem cold enough,
an invocation of "Jack Frost" may be appropriate. In
addition, I have included a list of "weather" deities
from around the world. Feel free to select from any of the Pantheons
included. This list is just a suggestion and is in no way meant
to represent the entire spectrum of weather deities.

Appendix: Results
Preliminaries beforehand include the revision of Jihad's "Ritual Atmospherics", the creation of a witchant, and, with the decision to bind weather-knots for the bringing of the sun, we each drew a sigil for strength/vitality/solar consciousness which was then appended to a solar dot-in-a-circle glyph.
The sigil paper is brought to the area of working, with a candle
(or firewood) and the rope.
1. Opening:
The rope, its length equal to the combined arms-breadth of all
participants, is laid down in a circle. Inside the rope-circle,
the drawing of invoking unicursal hexagrams to the south of the
working area begins the ritual.
2. Statement of Intent:
It is our will to conjure sunshine as an extention of our wills
upon the Earth.
3. Loading the Program:
Each participant invokes a personal image of a solar deity, then
visualizes the sigil glowing within a black star before them.
Allow the star to pulsate, then shrink to the size of a speck
of dust. Inhale the speck with force and let it explode within
you. As it does, exhale upwards.
4. Run the Program:
A gnostic state is attained with a clockwise dance. Each participant
picks up the rope in his or her right hand, and stepping outside
it (the rope-circle) begins moving in a circle, holding the rope
tautly. The witchant is begun:
Sun, Sun light the days
Sun, Sun bring your rays
Sweat through toil
Simmer to boil
Sun, Sun burning blaze!
5. End Program:
When the dance has become frenzied, and the participants have
attained sufficient gnosis, the circling stops and each participant
ties a slip-knot into the rope. The hands, one of which is rope-burned
by this point, are to be imagined imbued with solar power when
this is done.
6. Sealing and talisman taking:
The sigil is burned and, while holding their knots in one hand
the rope is burned at the midpoint between each knot. Each participant
then keeps their portion of the rope with their slip-knot for
later use. (The slip-knot is loosened and the rope hung outside
to bring forth the Sun!)
We then divined the efficacy of the working using the chemognosified
Kree8ur as our Oracle, and decided to loose the knots at the time
of awakening on the following Saturday, which by all weather reports
was due to rain all weekend.
Results:
970302, Sunday
All three of us loosed our knots and hung them out to dry (as it were) on a rainy and dark Saturday morning. All knots were undone by 11am, and at that time the sun broke through and it remained bright and sunny 'til sundown. It rained lightly in the night, and was then dry until noon Sunday. Additional assistance via enchantment by Darakan in a car heading south towards Seattle is reported.
